Justlearning2020 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 02:01 am We are in possession of a 1965 penny. The color is not copper and it is very shiny. If you notice in the picture the front edge of the coin is missing. Also on the back, the bottom of the steps look to be pushed in. The coin only weighs 2.21grams and it is exactly 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Is it real? Report this Post to the Staff

Justlearning2020 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 02:54 am I used a refrigerator magnet and it is not magnetic. The edge is off centered and the words "In God We Trust" are cut off. There is no copper coming through around the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 767 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 02:57 am I'm unsure whether this coin has been altered or it may have actually been struck on a foreign planchet/dime stock. Report this Post to the Staff
spruett001 Bedrock of the Community United States 11247 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 03:19 am Interesting. I would think that copper would be visible on the edge if it were struck on a dime planchet, but that's pretty much normal weight for '65 dime... Can you post a pic of the edge?

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 37233 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 05:17 am to CCF. It does seem like a cent on a dime planchet. Where did you get it? John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3277 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 06:39 am could be struck on a 64 dime planchet.. Weak rims, letters falling off, I would have it xrf'd.. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53708 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 09:06 am Looks promising. Can you give us the weight in grams? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 4613 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 09:44 am With it being a 1965 and struck one a clad planchet it should have a copper core. I would like to see pics of the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 1410 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 10:43 am whatever you do, do NOT touch the coin with bare fingers or attempt to clean it in any way (cleaning a coin will ruin its value). This is an interesting one. I would also like to see a picture of the edge.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 5757 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 11:20 am ... to the Community! Looks to be a cent struck on a dime planchet. Not unheard of. Needs to be third party verified and graded to bring the most money. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
